I want to make a banner with pictures and such but I nee help finding a program. I would LOVE for it to be free, but if there is an excellent one for under $35, you can suggest that too.

[edit]

I got Animation Shop 3. When I try to make an animation in a 480x90 frame, I add the pictures into it, and when I try to adjust the position, it's cut off on the top and bottom and the center of the picture is cropped off. How do I fix this?

I know you can download a free trial of Animation Shop for 30 days...but I'm not sure how much it costs to actually buy it. O:

If you have photoshop, Imageready comes with it. You can make simple/complex animations in there.

I use GIF Animator, which is free. You can use IrfanView (also free) with it if you're making stuff in paint, to convert files to .gif in order to animate.

I use my gimp program for animation.

Imageready ftw! Though being a photoshop related program it's the true opposite of free ^^' Unless one happens to have gotten their photoshop for free...

I actually looked into it. It's 50% off right now (aka $20 USD), but usually $40 USD.

I got Animation Shop 3. :)

I use Gimp. I had to look up how to animate things on it, but it's a wonderful free art program. ^^

Edit: Oh, I didn't read. Nevermind. xD

I use gimp-gap animation for the very very rare times i need ot animate things. 'rustles up an example' is a simple one i made for my boss' website w/ gimp.
